Selini Capital Secures VARA License, Expands Institutional OTC Trading from Dubai

Selini Capital FZE has achieved a major milestone after being granted a broker-dealer license by Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), positioning the firm to operate as a fully regulated Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP).

The approval enables Selini Capital to strengthen its regulated presence across the UAE and the wider Middle East, marking another step in Dubai’s emergence as a leading global hub for institutional digital asset activity.

Expanding Institutional Reach and Market Depth

With the new license, Selini Capital plans to offer institutional-grade OTC trading and liquidity solutions to partners worldwide. The firm will also establish Dubai as its regional hub for qualified and institutional investors, leveraging the emirate’s progressive virtual asset framework and strong regulatory oversight.

The company emphasized its commitment to providing deep liquidity, precise execution, and reliable OTC services through its regulated entity — attributes essential for institutions seeking compliant, secure exposure to digital assets.

Supporting Dubai’s Role as a Global Digital Asset Hub

Selini Capital’s approval comes amid a wave of regulatory and market activity under VARA, which continues to attract leading digital asset firms to Dubai. By expanding its regulated footprint, Selini joins a growing roster of licensed entities contributing to the UAE’s vision of becoming a trusted and transparent jurisdiction for virtual assets.
